PeppermintOS? I’m trying to prepare an ancient Chromebook C202S for Linux and have had some ideas from antiX to MXLinux and Loc-OS, but it seems that PeppermintOS may be among the best choices.
The tech level of this Chromebook’s end user is unlikely to work well with Arch + BSPWM, which was recommended to me by someone else.
If you’re constrained by the user’s “tech level”, it’s unlikely that you’ll find anything significantly lighter … some other distro might shave off 50MB of RAM, but if it’s more difficult to use, that’s not really worth it.
